Can I still apply for financial aid and be part of the Pathways to Success program?

Once you enroll in this program, you are eligible to apply for financial aid and scholarships. If you are co-enrolled, you may apply at your main campus. Your mentor will help by providing information and guidance in completing the documents you need for applications.

How will the program help me with my field of study?

The program will assist you in all aspects of your field of study from the application to the program of interest, financial aid, employment and mentoring throughout your college life.
